- I'm writing a task manager / launcher for MS Windows 3.1 just for fun.
-
- I make a call to the Win API function "EnumWindows()" and have my callback
- function produce a list. I have tried to filter out system apps by checking
- the WS_VISIBLE bits using the Win API "BOOL IsWindowVisible(hwnd)"
- function, but I still get a list of (apparently) everything that is
- running. I want to display only those apps that are obviously running
- and available to the user.
-
- I'd appreciate any suggestions.
-
- Thanks
